Here in Quebec, we have the opportunity to celebrate two main summer holidays only one week apart: St. Jean Baptiste on Sunday, June 24th, and Canada Day on Sunday, July 1st.

So, … to help everyone get into action for these celebrations, we invite you to do your shopping at our boutiques on Saturday, June 23rd and on Saturday, June 30th. I’m confident that you will be able to find your last minute party necessities.

Exceptionally, we in Ste. Anne de Bellevue are treating you to some wonderful treasures at bargain prices! Hooray!

And where do you suppose you’ll find them! Where else but The Bargain Alley! 😉

What we’re doing is combining our post-50%-off-clean-up with our own version of “Share the Wealth.” We’ve decided that the bargain alley — and you — could both be treated to some extra special inventory for a change. Why not? You deserve it. And this clear-out from the main store gives us room to display the new inventory that, thanks to our generous donors, is always coming in.

Above you’ll see some of the silver-plated items. How about scoring a lovely vintage tray (à la Downton Abbey) for serving guests at your summer garden party? Or what about the trendy new fashion of painting these delightful old pieces? Check out Pinterest for fabulous ideas. Here is one link to inspiration.

Across from this table are three other tables simply bursting with beautiful items worth much, much more than the 25 cents they will cost you! I don’t expect them to last long. What can I say? You snooze, you lose.

Good afternoon, shoppers and donors. Thank you so very much for your continued support of the Thrift Shops for Nova. Indeed, your generosity makes it possible for us to contribute much needed funds to our foundation.

The money we raise from our sales allows us to help promote and deliver quality community-based health care.
